A mixed-use commercial and residential building completed in 1975. It is mainly notable for being directly opposite the centers of governance in Taipei. Political banners are regularly draped from its upper levels and it is not uncommon to see it appear in the background of news reports. Netizens also regularly comment on its perceived ugliness.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
